He actually expected to survive and escape? Words fail me!
Yes; so did Farook and Malik, the shooters in San Bernardino.
No, I do not think they are stupid. Possibly they’re being told lies OR the people formulating these pseudo “lone wolf” attacks do not know how to pull-off coordinated terror actions.
These terror acts when assessed objectively in totality look like community based terror cells involving numerous persons plus the families.
Consider the following:
The 20-years old James Howell, from Indiana, arrested in CA while Orlando was still on-going told the local arresting officers that he knew Omar and made the comment, “Omar and Brandy were supposed to get away. Something went wrong”.
Why would he mention the name “Omar”?
And who is this Brandy person? Was he/she/it one of Omar’s partners who helped him w/the shooting?
If they were supposed to get away, and Omar was driving back home to get his family on a plane (the tickets were Tampa to SFO), was there to be another incident in gay-friendly San Fran?
Sure looks like someone, somewhere is coordinating terror attacks, does it not?
